FI1. Start with daily market awareness
Spend 10 minutes each morning on Bloomberg, Reuters, or the FT. You don’t need to understand everything the goal is to absorb the logic behind market moves, inflation data, and rate decisions.
2. Follow the right voices and newsletters
Read Morning Brew, Finimize, or FT Markets for daily insights. On LinkedIn, follow traders, PMs, and economists from top institutions to learn how professionals think.
3. Learn by doing small projects first
Start simple: build a portfolio tracker in Excel or analyze stock data with Yahoo Finance. Projects like these show curiosity and initiative to recruiters.
4. Build understanding through stories, not theory
Connect the dots inflation affects rates, rates move equities. Watch Bloomberg interviews or listen to The Journal and Macro Voices to hear real market narratives.
